His first book was not as bad as this one. I thought this was more of the same old same old. The characters had nothing going for them & the whole book was full of descriptions of the same thing over & over again. Not good.

Obviously my rating will give away the fact that I did not enjoy this story much. If I'm going to read a book this wordy and descriptive I need characters that I can enjoy. I really found only Tancred was sufficiently fleshed out as a character and he did not capture my imagination at all. Everyone else is just a name with no personality.

There is no doubt in my mind that this author did a phenomenal job of the research and history. I, personally, just needed something more.
